Let's hope they do a better job than some recent rivals modes where you need a glitch car (Le mans) or a Unicorn (the Honda gtr) to be competitive ....... No way I'll be getting in the top 100s but it'll be fun. Good luck to RDDCs fast guys, hope you do well boys.

Go to the storefront. Enter search criteria and there are a few to choose from. Check LB to see which cars are optimal ......... I used Lancia G37, Vauxhall 220 ......... Weapon of choice seems to be lotus '05. Hope that helps ...... I got into 2:09 ish and that was top 17% ... Good enough .....

i used the lotus and did a standard upgrade through the game.
Only corrected tire-pressure and a bit of downforce.
That allowed me to get a 2.11 and get me into the top 27%. without further tweaking or testing. So job done.

hmmm, think my 2:07 must've been 'dirty'... lol

I'm showing on the online leaderboads as 0:02:10.186 which puts me in 6229th position.
Inside top 21% though, I think, so not too bad.
But there is the nagging feeling that I know I can do much, much better!
